You may want to sing a Hallelujah unaccompanied. Let’s join them! As Evangelical believers in Ireland, will you make a similar act of faith and solidarity? You may want to open a window or a door to do it – although our weather is not as conducive to this as it is in Italy! But wherever you are, and however you wish to do it, will you sing a Hallelujah to God and pray fervently for our Italian brothers and sisters? Remember, we are one hour behind Rome, so we will do this at 6.30pm tomorrow. Tomorrow evening (Thursday 19 March) at 7.30pm Rome time, thousands of them will open their windows and sing a Hallelujah to affirm their faith in God. Now Italian Christians are taking a similar stand. You may have seen the footage on TV news of defiant Italians on lockdown refusing to be cowed by this virus, flinging open their windows and singing operatic songs.
